“The Wreckoning is a darker song. But the record is positive.”

“My singing is my hobby. It's me and my brother. We just enjoy writing music.”

“The most interesting place I've gone on location was New Orleans.”

“I would go visit my mom on Sundays, and my brother was working on stuff. I'd go in there and sing a little melody, then we started working with words and the next thing you know it was just born organically without really trying.”

“After we wrote The Wreckoning, our record label did listen.”

“We wanted to write a whole song about partying and then taking Yellow Cabs home. That's the weirdest topic we've ever thought of centering a song around.”

“Some people might say I need to learn how to relax.”

“As a brother and sister, our tastes were pretty different growing up. He liked a lot of early hip hop. My dad didn't understand it and would try to talk him out of it.”

“I'm not really into movies on dates because you can't chat it up.”

“If you are being weird or silly you can be excused because you are just playing a character.”

“I'm definitely the worker. My brother is the jokester.”

“I just get focused on whatever is in front of me. When I was filming Crossroads, it had all my focus. Now I'm all focused on finishing my recording so I can get that out. It's just day by day.”

“After reading Eminem's autobiography, which I did because I'm so interested in him as an artist, I respect him a lot. Even though he seems angry and mad, he's had to fight so many demons in his life.”

“Through teaching myself how to be happy and get through things, I hope I can also do that for other people.”

“That's why I'm an actress, to do something completely opposite from myself.”

“There's definitely a whole different vibe on the set when there's like basically royalty working with us. We could have whatever we wanted. I felt like Britney Spears.”

“I would say our sound is soul pop.”

“Lauren Hill, I always have her solo CD nearby. I have Coldplay, Radiohead, just a mix.”

“It was Britney's movie. I liked that movie. It didn't get too much love, but a lot of people really liked it.”

“There's really nothing else I'm going to do with my life. I'd be useless if I weren't singing or acting.”
